#yasopp famous deadbeat sends luffy hatemail about this actually

[lesbiankoby]

floating the "big brother luffy little brother ace (and sabo)" au but in a context that has absolutely nothing to do with ace and everything to do with alternate romance dawn when luffy is the oldest strawhat in the east blue crew ~ 3 years before he would have set out in canon because i think it would be funny... that's luffy age 17, usopp age **14** (INFANT), nami age 15, zoro age 16, and sanji age 16. also the ~incidental au note~ that shifting *ace* in age shifts *rogers death* in the timeline to three years after it happened in og canon, which likely has... some shifts in various characters...? but mostly minor ones except perhaps shanks and buggy? and theres some kids in the west blue who didn't get infant murdered i suppose. and some new kids who were.

...and ace does not eat the mera mera no mi, because masked duece did, lol. i think the strawhats bail that guy off the island in a cover story short or something. or else the mera mera no mi contrives to be eaten by ace regardless, but its kind of funny if hes a sword guy here because the devil fruit is off the table.
